UK Cloud Sovereignty Report Puts Palantir Exit Rights and Open Standards in Focus

UK MPs urged the government to reduce public-sector cloud lock-in through break clauses, open standards and stronger procurement controls. The committee report points to about £10bn a year in government cloud spending and recommends an exit plan for the Palantir NHS Federated Data Platform by the end of 2026. The practical test is whether the government turns the recommendations into procurement rules, contract disclosures and enforceable exit plans.
